One hopes that something as central as the updating/installing tool
would be (a) worked on by more than one person, and (b) sufficiently
documented that the project could be taken over.

My second point seems to be seriously lacking on Fedora.  While I can't
personally speak to documentation regarding software coding, the
documentation for operating some software is sorely lacking.  There are
some distros where good documentation is a prerequisite to software
being accepted.

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point
trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the
public lists.

Windows, it's enough to make a grown man cry.
